Orewa North won the inaugural Year 5 and 6 Primary Schools hockey competition, held at the turfs in Metro Park East.
The competition is run by the Hockey Hibiscus Trust and attracted eight Year 5 and 6 teams in the division won by Orewa North.
There were another 15 teams in the Year 1 and 2, and Year 3 and 4 competitions.
Waitoki Hitters won the Year 1 and 2 competition, and the Silverdale Slammers won the Year 3 and 4.
A new Primary competition for Term 3 is currently underway.
Hockey Hibiscus Trust chair Merv Huxford says a memorandum of understanding signed with the North Harbour Hockey Association means that most local Primary school players will be able to play at Metro Park next year, instead of heading down to Albany.
